Texas governor reprimands Biden for giving baby formula to undocumented immigrants

The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, and the president of the Border Patrol union, Brandon Judd, denounced this Thursday that the Administration of the US president Joe Biden supplies baby formula to undocumented immigrants amid a national shortage of the product.

They added that “While mothers and fathers look at empty store shelves, the Administration Biden is happy to provide baby formula to illegal immigrants crossing our southern border.”

“This is one more of the reckless and insensitive priorities of the Administration Biden when it comes to securing our border and protecting Americans. Our children deserve a president who puts their needs and survival first, not one who gives illegal immigrants critical supplies before the people he was sworn to serve.”they limited

The statement was issued on the same day that President Biden He spoke with some of the main national manufacturers of powdered baby milk, which he pressured to increase their production, and announced that he will import larger quantities of this product due to the unprecedented shortage in his country.

The Democratic president spoke with the CEOs of the Mead Johnson and Gerber companies, which produce infant formula, and with the Walmart and Target retail chains, the White House reported.

In recent weeks, finding powdered milk for babies has been a challenge for parents in different states of the country, an issue that has become a throwing weapon between Republicans and Democrats and that has led the federal government to react.

The shortage has been caused by global supply problems caused by the pandemic and difficulties at the production plant that Abbott, the leading manufacturer of infant milk in the US, has in Sturgis, Michigan.
